This is a pure red kanchpuram saree, which is worn by all Iyengar/Iyer brides in South India. It is Nine Yards, and there is a special way to wear it. It is very compact and , without the need of any pins etc. One can wear it and forget about the saree slipping or any such thing, and happily go about doing whatever work we want to without any problems.
This is my wedding saree, and I must have worn it 2 or 3 times only after my wedding. I had the oportunity to wear it during my daughter’s wedding, it really looked quite nice and cool even with my short hair. I really enjoyed wearing it.
This red saree with the typical zari brder is 35 years old.
